Firesage101: I hope Sun and Marks are going to be ok and Lusumine doesn't go after Jarod or Sun.
Replies
Jarod: I think you said the wrong name…
Sun: Anyway, I think we'll be ok, and I'm more worried about Giovanni going after me than I am Lusamine.
Null: G-giovanni? Who's that?
Jarod: A big bad guy from Kanto. I think I exploded him in a blood rage or something… Nah, I think I just hit him with a door.
Sun: Last I heard, he was found in the waterfalls between Kanto and Johto.
Jarod: Like, behind them or…
Sun: IN them.
Jarod: Oh…
Last Time
"Jarod!" Shouted Null in concern before it remembered where it was making it glare at Lusamine and Wicke before it used Metal Sound again before picking up Sun, Jarod and Hau onto his back before running away, defying physics and running on the water all the way to Ula'Ula Island
"What the heck?" Asked Hau confused as he got off of Null's back on the ground right in front of Malie City's Pokécenter. "No, it doesn't matter." He mumbled as he picked up Jarod and Sun before walking into the Pokécenter
Now
Once again, it has been a few days since the last chapter, now Jarod and Sun were resting in the Pokécenter near the Hokulani Observatory. At this moment, Jarod was wondering around before coming across some posters, the thing that caught his glance was the fact that they were missing posters the main one that caught his eye was a missing poster of Lillie of all people!
"Nurse Joy? What's with the missing posters?" Asked Jarod, trying to probe for information
"Oh! It's been terrible. After news of a shiny Ditto appearing in these parts spread, people went to find it and never came back. They left their materials back here so they didn't leave… It's almost like they disappeared into thin air." Sighed Nurse Joy in a way that made her ki turn sad, not that anyone noticed it besides Jarod
"I know that one of them isn't a trainer so I think it has to do with something…" Mumbled Jarod as he walked out, noticing that it was night out 'What the hell could make six trainers and Lillie disappear into thin air…?' He asked himself as he walked down the path before tripping over something "OW! What the hell?" He asked in shock as he got up from his trip before looking behind him to see that he tripped over Lillie's bag which had a strange lump in it "Nebby?" Jarod asked as he opened the bag slightly
"JAROD!" Shouted Nebby as it tackled Jarod over, crying
"Nebby, what happened? Where's Lillie?" Asked Jarod as he pet the Nebula Pokémon calming it down slightly
"I-it was t-terrible… Lillie and m-me were w-walking and then a blue goop swallowed her up…" Stuttered Nebby making Jarod nod as he set Nebby down before putting it back into Lillie's bag
"Nebby, I'm going to find Lillie. I promise you this. Go back to the Pokécenter and find Sun. He'll make sure you stay safe." Commanded Jarod making Nebby nod as it started levitating the bag before flying back to the Pokécenter where it rested the bag on Sun's lap before going to sleep 'Now… what can I do too… I can't believe I'm about to do this…' Sighed Jarod mentally as he took a big breathe of air "I can't wait to get that shiny Ditto! It'll be a nice addition to my shiny collection!" He shouted, the very sentence sending shivers down his back before he noticed a shiny Ditto glaring at him from the grass before it jumped towards him, expanding its body until it completely wrapped around Jarod who pretended to resist before he felt himself shrinking and changing 'So this is how it does it. It transforms its victims.' Thought Jarod to himself as he played along and transformed into a Zorua just for the sake of it.
"I hope you'll learn, Shiny Hunter. You make a collection out of my kind and it'll bite you in the ass!" Shouted Ditto as it started moving while Jarod just closed his eyes and took a nap while a pair of eyes watched from the inside the shadows
'Why did he not blast it away?' Thought the being the eyes belonged to as it snuck into Ditto's shadow as it bragged Jarod back to a secret cave under the Pokécenter where six more Pokémon were, each one looking scared, especially a yellow Alolan Vulpix who kept muttering about Nebby in her sleep 'Is this why?' The being asked itself as it watched the Ditto dump Jarod into the cave before coving the exit with its body as it turned into rock making Jarod smirk as he jumped up
"Alright. Ditto was tricked so now time to see what's in here…" Muttered Jarod to himself as he remembered the names of the missing trainers "Let's see… Abigail… Mitch… Joe… Misty, huh, same name as the girl from Kanto… Gwen and finally Ben…" He mumbled making notice of a brown Litten, black Kanto Meowth, brown Snivy, orange Psyduck, and a duo of an orange Purrloin and a brown one
"Did you say my name?" Asked the Snivy in an emotionless voice as it stared at Jarod with an equally emotionless stare
"Are you… Joe, by any chance?" Asked Jarod curious getting a nod from the Snivy
"Yes, I'm Joe. The Litten is Abigail, the Meowth is Mitch, the Psyduck is Misty, the two Purloin are Gwen and Ben and that Alolan Vulpix is Lillie." Explained Joe "I'm guessing you read the posters?" He guessed getting a nod from Jarod "Well, I hope you like staying in this cave for the rest of your future… The others are afraid of leaving, even when Ditto is gone." He sighed making Jarod smirk the smirk that Zorua were famous for
"Well, it's a good thing that I duped Ditto." Snickered Jarod as he turned back into his Mew form getting no visible reaction from Joe
"How is that going to help? Sure, it might get Ditto to stop but an illusion can't change us back." Stated Joe believing Jarod transformation to only be an illusion before he found himself back in his human form, which was just slightly too big for the cave "Ok, now I see how…" He groaned before he was turned back into a brown Snivy
"Good, now let's gather the others. Nebby is really scare for Lillie." Stated Jarod making Joe stare at him
"Wait, you know what Nebby is? Please tell me, Lillie won't stop crying about it! It got so bad that Ditto started blocking our noises, which is why I'm not caring about it hearing us." Requested Joe, giving Jarod some more useful info
"Nebby is a Pokémon that Lillie has grown to love. I can't tell you what Nebby is as I swore with Kukui and Hala not to tell anyone about it. But know that it's not of Alola." Stated Jarod making Joe nod as he helped drag all the Humans turned Pokémon together, Lillie, Abigail and Mitch waking up
"Jarod?" Asked Lillie as she saw Jarod
"Hey, Lillie. I hope you're ready to see the outside world again." Smirked Jarod as he teleported everyone inside of the cave to the roof of the Pokécenter before transforming them all into their human forms "I have to go get something." He stated as he teleported inside before taking Lillie's bag and Nebby off of Sun before teleporting back onto the roof where Lillie swiped the bag and hugged it faster than even Jarod could see
"Soo, how are y'all gonna get back home?" Asked Abigail "I mean, surely our stuff has been taken to the police." She added making Joe and Mitch nod
"Nah, everything you left in your bag is in the Pokécenter, including your Pokémon." Stated Jarod making the awake trainers stare at him weirdly "What I think that Ditto wanted to paint the image that you all got kidnapped in your sleep or something." He shrugged
"Okay." Shrugged Mitch before he fell asleep, the others following after him
Jarceus: That is all for this chapter, I hope you all enjoyed.
Jarod: That was quick, but then again, it's me, what do you expect.
Sun: That us far too true to be funny. I can't remember how many times he's pulled Jarod Ex Machina on us… Like that Ultra Instinct bullshit!
Jarod: Hehehe.
Silver: I think we can all agree that you have the most Ex Machina moments.
Jarod: Yeah, I do don't I.
